Crusaders v Blues

KiwiMurph

Not sure hooking Ruru is the go when Pulu is on the bench ha.

@Jailbreak7 Not many 9s left on the market. Hall, Taumateine

We had Hall - but he had bad coaching, and poor structures around him. I reckon this is why it's a multi year project at the Blues -w eneed to get good enough to not be a train wreck, and then build for another few years.

Chris

@KiwiMurph it’s not Nock is a much better bet pity he went down.

Jailbreak7

Is O'Gara definitely off to France? Like what he's done with the Saders so far

KiwiMurph

Dopey from Nonu. Lucky to get away with that.

Tim

Big knock on earlier.

Donsteppa

With that sort of tight five scrum performance, the Blues are genuinely doing well to be only ten points down so far.

Chris

Crusaders have sure learn’t from the Sharks game in these conditions.Test match grind.

Canes4life

Parsons on, Blues have no chance now.

Tim

Blues defence has been good after the first 10 minutes.

Machpants

For that much time in the 22, saders are doing crap

kev

That is high tackle.

gt12

Nice call for the Blues there.

KiwiMurph

Nanai lucky there.

He's been the Blues best player.

Really? Hit the shoulder, stayed on teh shoulder.

Machpants

It's changed, last year that would be a yellow, this year ok. Weird

gt12

IMO, Mo’unga would have scored that if he’d transferred the ball to the left side.

Cyclops

I don't understand why that's a line out penalty. Isn't Barret just competing for the ball?

Donsteppa

Win three points, give three back...

nzzp

Considering how we've played, I'm pleased with our effort and resilience. Last few years would have just shut up shop adn shipped 50 poins.

This also feels like the next 20 minutes are going to get ugly ... i've tempted fate
